Jacob’s Dream
The Dream Factory Team were very moved to receive the following message from Jacob who we recently granted a dream for :
‘Just wanted to say thank you to an amazing charity, The Dream Factory. At the time I had been given days to weeks to live whilst in ICU with Invasive Aspergillosis Neutropenia. The videos gave me so much fight to survive and it paid off. Two months later I’m still here and fighting harder than ever before.’
